Because of the hype and 'some' positive reviews here, Harry, I gave *The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo* 130 pages before I was so bored to tears, I tossed it aside. That's very rare for me.
Quite honestly, had this come to my little publishing house as a manuscript submission, I'd have rejected after a chapter. Maybe, though, that's why we're still a 'little' publishing house. I guess there must be something in this trilogy judging from rave reviews elsewhere.
Horses for courses -- just not one that grabs me by the short and curlies. And if an author hasn't done that within 130 pages, I reckon he's not doing his job.
